Gutting for Geraint Thomas

[Undercoverinwurzelland]

Leading going into the last proper stage of the Giro d'Italia but lost out to an incredible time trial ride by pre-race favourite Primoz Roglic. Still, 2nd place and another podium finish in a grand tour is a fantastic achievement.

It was a shame.

I don't normally watch the cycling but I got sucked into this Giro over the past 10 days and I really thought he would do it and hold Roglic off.

But Thomas can be proud of himself - an incredible athlete and person.

Chapeau G

Hats off to Geraint Thomas valiant effort to defend the pink jersey in the Giro just beaten by an inspired Rodlic riding a superb time trial right on the Slovenian border.
Thomas is a credit to Wales and the sport of cycling Chapeau

It's been riveting watching the whole race. Gutted for G, but days like today are what make it a great sport.

Is G going to be in the Tour de France? We're going out for the stages in the Alps.

Don't think G is riding the TDF wouldn't surprise me to see him in the Vuelta, tear in the eye to see G lead out his mate Cav for a stage win in his final Giro, go on Cav beat the cannibals record in your last TDF, been an absolute pleasure to watch these two great sportsmen perform over the last decade plus Chapeau to both

Re: Gutting for Geraint Thomas

That was brilliant to watch today. Cav has been devoid of decent team mates to lead him out in a sprint for a while, so for a mate to do it from another team was great to see.

Why not he's universally known as G He's even written a book called " the mountains according to G"

No, Vuelta next for him, after the national championships end of June. I'm going out for first 3 stages of Le Tour.
